Vive the Missonis!

Last night: Glamour's Women of the Year awards show, known affectionately around these parts as WOTY. It was an awfully emotional night, thanks to he wealth of truly outstanding women that have changed our world in 2006 in attendance. But first, my fellow pod-members and I headed to Carnegie Hall en masse. Aren't they cute?

On the fashion front, we honored the three Missoni women—Rosita (founder of the company, which began making tracksuits!), Angela (the current designer of the knitwear we all know and love), and muse/contemporary incarnation of Missoni, the sublime Margherita. These ladies have been ubiquitous in the fashion world this year, which is inexplicably and unfortunately often orchestrated by the menfolk. So designers-in-training, businesswomen-to-be, and visionaries of any type, consider the Missonis a source of inspiration, and heed their call to action: we're the ones wearing these clothes—isn't it high time we took charge of the industry?
